What are Plans for 2010 in Bollywood?

For many years, the main goal in Bollywood was the creation of movies that had to do with the theme “a girl falls for a boy and after a long adventure they are together and live happily ever after”. The producers would add some music and dancing, some stunning images of places and they would have a movie. This belongs though to the past; today Bollywood after having created lots of successful movies that claimed international awards, and after having shocked the world with movies such as the Slumdog Millionaire, has been trying to diversify and expand its subjects, trying to captivate even more viewers and even more admirers.

Of course, no one can deny that the cornerstone of authentic Bollywood movies is glamour, so reading the news about the upcoming Bollywood movies we should not be surprised seeing much glamour and luxury even in movies that deal with dramas, that explore some different story lines. The blooming and booming economy of Bollywood and its impact and effect on the international audience cannot be preserved without some more sophisticated stories that deal with family issues, with political freedoms, even with some themes relatively censored in India, such as gay and lesbian issues. All these subjects and scenarios are supposed to be the basis for something different, something much better than the known visual style of the Bollywood movies we knew so far. Don’t forget that many people around the world consider Bollywood to create music videos with a story, rather than movies, so Bollywood is ready to prove that truth is far from that.

We should not forget that Bollywood is an industry that has to satisfy the 10 million Indians that go to the theatres every day, but also the numerous Indians that live and work abroad; since it became such a big thing, Bollywood has to satisfy the foreigners too, thus it’s not accidental that we see a large production of movies for 2010, as well as a large variety of scenarios and subjects. Among the new projects waiting to be released in 2010 are some much awaited movies, such as the social movie “ My name is Khan”, with Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, the movie Action Replay with Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai, the Chance Pe Dance with Shahid Kapoor and Genelia Dsouza.

The Hook Ya Crook, a drama and thriller movie with John Abraham and Genelia Dsouza is also expected for the beginning of 2010, as well as the comedy 3 Idiots with  Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and R Madhavan. One of the much anticipated movies in 2010 is the Teen Patti with two great actors, Amitabh and Oscar winning Hollywood actor Ben Kingsley, while the Peter Gaya Kaam Se is expected towards the end of March, starring Rajeev Khandelwal,Lekha Washington, Proshantt Narayanan.

The world is really waiting to see what Bollywood has in its store for 2010, especially given the fact that many Hollywood and European actors will also participate in movies made by the great Bollywood this year.
